Kellogg Recalls Products

Kellogg Company has recalled about 28 million boxes of cereal due to unpleasant smells and flavours emanating from the boxes’ plastic packaging that could cause nausea and diarrhoea.

The food producer said the recall includes its Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops and Honey Smacks cereals distributed with use-before dates between 26 March 2011 and 22 June 2011.

The company has identified a substance in the package liners that can produce an uncharacteristic off-taste and smell, according to the company’s website.

It said the off-taste and odour is possibly because of the waxy resin used in the paper, foil-backed, package liners.
